I dun go for mall sales as i'm not much into shopping ^_^
But as far as i know, most sale items are the unwanted or old stocks that the company is trying to clear in order to break even or make some little profit from it instead of wasting it.. lol =D
If not, they will actually price the products higher a few weeks or month b4 their 'mega or big sale', and so when the sales comes, they just reduced it back to the original price b4 it was being increased ^_^ hehe

Yes, I like going to mall sales even if there are lots of people because it adds excitement to the shopping experience. It's more competitive with other people trying to find the good stuff before you. Products that are not in demand can be one reason why they are on sale. Other reasons I can think of is because they want to attract more customers than the other stores and take buisness from them. Another reason is because item is going to be discontinued or out of season soon.

There one mall close to my house, that I don't like to go to that often. Mostly because they are crowded and another because there aren't that many stores there that I like to shop at. So no matter what kind of sales are going on there probably isn't much there for me anyways. There are a few stores there that my sons like so they will drag me over that way every once in a while, but I really don't like to drive that far especially with gas prices climbing up.

Oh no. We avoid it all the time. Especially when SM malls are on sale as well as any other which does as well. You'll hit 5-10 people with just a few steps. People are all over the place! Me and my family prefer to have a good time strolling around window shopping. However, we almost always eat out when we go to malls. The food courts have quite a variety of dishes.
It's really annoying when you want to eat and you have no where to sit. People are competing for seats and stand beside a table they think would finish first. It's really a good bargain though but we prefer comfort. We even consider going to malls when it's not payday to avoid a lot of people. Trinoma was clear a while ago though. And we saw Jessica Soho (famous TV personality here in the Philippines). Such a nice person. She goes out of her way to smile.

Oh yeah, I noticed that when there are lots of people. It's real hot and some are sweaty. I really get uneasy so we try to avoid times like that.

you are right bro when it's mall wide sale all of the people are in the mall & have you noticed that the aircon is not as cold as the days when it's not sale? & the mall is too crowded lol & i also agree with that if we go to mall or shop, we must be comfortable.. :)

hi jinxky...
wow its been awhile i been absent huh!?...and mylot has changed alot...^_^
how r you doing my cute and macoolet friend lolz ^_^
anyways...depends on the condition and quality of the items on sale for me...
like for example i have bought a sketcher shoes for 70% off and i like it...but before i buy it i will check it first if the shoes is in good condition or not...another shoes is also on sale at that time but the leather coating seems to be falling off...meaning its too old stock, i think it would be different scenario if i bought that i would hate that purchase...
bdw, my work is near sm mla haha so i always go to malls when going or leaving work ^_^
SMILE ALWAYS...^_^

yes i do but not always..sometimes it is just a coincidence..,malls bring the prices down because sometimes the styles of their clothes are not "in" anymore or it is an old stock that needs to be dispensed already

It's quite annoying and cumbersome to be in a mall sale actually. But sometimes it seems like I never learn my lesson. I still go to the place even when I know there are a lot of people because of the sale madness. I can only remember buying a few good clothes from a mall sale at a cheaper price. The rest I bought from it weren't no good and I never wore them anyways. I think they give discounts like that because they wanted to do away with the old stock or something.
